2023 Turkey and Syria Earthquake Disaster Relief Final Report

February 28, 2023

Last modified on October 9, 2023

We are providing the final status update on the impact of the 2023 Turkey and Syria Earthquake Disaster Relief campaign which closed on 2/11/23 at 10:00 a.m. PT. Your support has been crucial to the success of our campaign. 

Within four days, we reached our match cap of $300K. In total, over 1,500 (including donors after campaign closed) employees from 25 countries donated to the campaign.

*After the official close of the campaign, our generous employees and retirees chose to continue donating to the selected causes. Raising over $751,892 as of today. These continuing donations are applied to their “My Personal Choice” budgets. Causes with donation links are on the Benevity site

Impact:

“Despite the financial situation Intel is going through, Intel generously decided to help, which is something I will never ever forget, and I am very proud of, Intel really showed me how they care for me, my family and my people. Thank you Intel for setting the role model in caring and inclusion.”

“Given the financial situation Intel is going thru, I would like to thank you Intel for this incentive from the bottom of my heart!!” “I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Intel for initiating this philanthropic effort. The region has experienced two devastating earthquakes, registering 7.8 and 7.5 on the Richter scale, resulting in one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in recent times. The generosity of Intel in offering donation matching opportunities to its employees has provided us with the platform to make a positive impact and support those affected by this tragedy”

” Thank you all for the support and love you show Intel. Thank you Michael for preparing the relief campaign quickly. In these financially trying times this is a generous contribution and every bit is needed, I hope we will hit the limit in the upcoming days. I am proud and grateful in one word. Your kindness will go a long way! Thank you!” “Thank you Intel Foundation for launching this campaign so quickly. People who are impacted by this tragedy can use all the help they can get right now. More than 15M people impacted and it’ll be years before the region recovers. I’m proud to be part of team Intel!”
